Valve Application & Media Compatibility
Can I use a V Series 3-way valve as a diverter or selector?
Yes, VERSA's 3-way valves can be used in diverter or selector applications. Always consult product documentation to ensure proper flow direction and configuration.
Are VERSA valves suitable for natural gas, water, hydraulic, or vacuum service?
Natural Gas: Most VERSA valves are rated for natural gas. For enhanced performance, ask about the "NGS" suffix option, available for the V Series, B Series, V-316, and C-316 Series.
Water: Some VERSA valves are suitable for water applications, but requirements vary. The "WS" (Water Service) option is available for the V and T Series.
Hydraulic: VERSA's T Series is engineered for hydraulic service. The V Series can also be used in low-pressure hydraulic systems (<100 psi/6.89 bar).
Vacuum...
Can I use a valve rated for hydraulic service in water service?
No. Hydraulic and water media have distinct properties and performance requirements. Use valves specifically designed or configured for each.
Why can’t I reverse flow through V Series valves?
Reversing flow may damage internal seals due to design principles such as VERSA’s patented Anti-Extrusion Principle. For alternatives, contact Technical Sales.
Are VERSA valves suitable for steam applications?
No, VERSA does not offer valves rated for steam service. Contact our team for guidance on alternative solutions.
